We Are All Ears - October 2014

This months challenge comes from marbleized paper. Which I love as I am a '60s child....But anyway, the designers chosen by Erin were:

Galen Berryis a renowned American marbleizer who has a very informative website. I also discovered an artist from the UK named Jemma Lewiswho makes beautiful patterns and swirls of colors. I couldn't select just one, so I decided that two collages would be a better option so that you could choose the one (or more!) that speaks most to you. Be sure to check out their websites for more beauties!

While I like Jemma Lewis's marbleized papers...I really fell for Galen Berry. Hers remind me of the "psychedelic" colors and designs of the 60's.I really couldn't decide on a specific design so I went with color....and since I am a purple freak...I used purple and aqua in my earrings. It is hard to see, but the disk hanging in the middle is purple and aqua swirls. The beads are deep aqua and purple.

I had so many ideas and not enough time...for more beauties head over to We Are All Ears

I find it funny that you place these marbled papers as a 60s/70s item. I see the psychedelic, but I truly think of them as timeless. They seem much more ancient to me, like the papers you see in the ends of antique books. I love the earrings you made, and hope that it inspires you to make more! Thanks for playing with me in the We're All Ears challenge. Check back on Friday, November 7th for the next one! Enjoy the day. Erin
